"Champ Green" also won an extra 25,000 pesos for winning the Panalo sa Brand Intrusion award, as did fellow short film "G!" and full-length film "Journeyman."

Joining them on the students shorts panel were directors Emmanuel Dela Cruz and Victor Villanueva, as well as film critic Lito Zulueta.
The full-length jury panel, on the other hand, consisted of Cahilig, Hayagan-Piedad, and Bautista, as well as directors Jeffrey Jeturian and Mae Cruz-Alviar, writer and producer Moira Lang, and Estonian filmmaker Tiina Lokk, the festival director of the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival.
This year’s CinePanalo saw increased grants for all entries, with 3,000,000 pesos grants for full-length entries, and 150,000 pesos grants for student shorts.

The festival was also supported in large part by its partner organizations Terminal Six Post, CMB Film Services Inc., Gateway Cineplex 18, MFP Rentals, the MTRCB, and the Mowelfund Film Institute.
“The Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival will always be fueled by a deep love for the art of cinema, and an even deeper ambition to show what Philippine talent and passion has to offer,” said Ivy. “With the CinePanalo having reached a successful second edition, the possibilities are now endless. We can’t wait for all the wonderful films yet to grace the Puregold CinePanalo in all the years to come.”
"Salum," "Champ Green," and all the other full-length and student short films will continue to screen exclusively at the Gateway Cineplex 18, Cubao, Quezon City until March 25.
